 Here are a dozen reasons why the Nobel Veep is ready to roll.
- Saving planet Earth not as satisfying as gaining personal power.
- Increasing human consciousness about climate change can't compare to accepting defeat for Bush’s war in Iraq as next U.S. president.
- Only as American president can you guarantee that the moral issue of global warming will be reduced to a partisan food fight on cable TV news.
- Unable to resist deep self-loathing desire to let the mass media paint you again as an overweight lightweight.
- Nothing more worth winning.
- Everyone needs to take a step down in life.
- Unparalleled opportunity to transform the most important thing you’ve ever done to an endless series of cheap sound bytes.
- Tiny chance to persuade Americans that greed, acquisitiveness, driving and shopping do not constitute the good life.
- Better chance to preside over runaway global warming as a result of runaway greed, acquisitiveness, driving and shopping.
- Work closely with Congress for four more years of inaction on international global warming treaty.
- Political payback always sweeter after eight-year, high-minded pause.
- Abolish Supreme Court.
